Spin distributions at the Coulomb barrier in the $^{58}$Ni+$^{60}$Ni fusion reaction from gamma-ray multiplicity measurements
2002
Abstract Heavy-ion fusion barrier distributions are now routinely obtained directly from experimental data. Measurements of the total γ-ray multiplicity for the fusion channels of the 58 Ni + 60 Ni system, which has striking yet well understood barrier structures, confirm the theoretical predictions that very high spins can be populated at energies close to (and even below) the nominal Coulomb barrier. The mapping from multiplicities to spin populations shows that structures in the barrier distribution are still evident in the γ-ray results.
Absolute transmission and separation properties of the gas-filled recoil separator RITU
2011
Abstract The absolute transmission values of the RITU gas-filled recoil separator have been measured for several fusion evaporation products. Three different beams and several targets were used to create fusion evaporation residues in mass region A =170–190 mainly in neutron evaporation channels. Measured absolute transmission values from around 7% up to round about 90% have been observed for very asymmetric and symmetric reactions, respectively. For the reactions studied it was observed that the angular spread of products after the target and the angular acceptance of RITU determine the transmission probability relatively accurately. Magnetic rigidities and equilibrium charges of the produ…
Fusion suppression in mass-asymmetric reactions leading to Ra compound nuclei
2003
Near-barrier excitation functions have been measured for evaporation-residue production and fission in the 12C + 204,206,208Pb and 48Ca + 168,170Er systems that lead to the compound nuclei 216,218,220Ra*. A Pronounced suppression of evaporation-residue production is observed for the more symmetric combinations, 48Ca + 168,170Er. We relate this to the significant quasifission components already observed for these systems.
Evidence for three microscopically different kinds ofE1 transition in lead-region nuclei
1988
A survey of electric dipole transition rates, or B(E1) values, is done for lead-region nuclei with 82≦Z≦90 and 112≦N≦134. It is found that the major part of the E1 transitions are hindered by a factor of about 106–107 and these transitions are interpreted to proceed via admixtures of the collective 1− state. A second group, which is generally 10–100 times less hindered and is involving the πi13/2 orbital in the initial states, is suggested to proceed via the allowed πi11/2→πh9/2 admixtures in the wave functions. These two groups are compared to a third newly established category, the α-cluster or IBAp-boson mode, of the so-called vibron model.
Rotational bands in99Sr
1984
The β-decay of 59 ms99Rb has been studied at OSTIS. As is confirmed by RPA calculations with Nilsson model wave functions, the lowest energy levels in99Sr are consistent with rotational bands built on the [411 3/2], [413 5/2] and [422 3/2] Nilsson neutron configurations at 0, 423 and 1071 keV, respectively. All three bands have similar values of the inertial parameter ħ2/2θ indicating a nearly rigid rotor.
Level structure of120Sn from the decay of120In and120Sb isomers
1971
Gamma rays in the decay of the 3.2 s (1+) and 44 s (4, 5+)120In isomers and the 15.9 min (1+) and 5.8 d (8−)120Sb isomers have been investigated using Ge(Li) spectrometers and prompt and delayed Ge(Li)-NaI(Tl) coincidence techniques. The constructed level scheme of120Sn contains 18 levels at the following energies (keV): 0 (0+), 1171.6 (2+), 1875.6 (0+), 2096.9 (1, 2, 3), 2160.7 (0+), 2195.0 (4+), 2284.8 (5−), 2355.6 (2+), 2421.2 (1, 2, 3), 2466.3 (4+), 2482.1 (7−), 2643.5 (4+), 3058.6 (4+), 3179.7 (4+), 3349.9 (3, 4+), 3440 (3, 4+), 3447.6 (5, 6+) and 3777 (4+). The levels are compared with the levels obtained from recent charged-particle reaction studies and the structure of120Sn is brief…
Aufbau eines automatisch arbeitenden ??2-Spektrometers und Untersuchung des Konversionslinienspektrums von In114m und ThB mit Folgeprodukten
1963
An automatically operatedπ√2 spectrometer is described. The regulated current supply is transistorized. With this spectrometer the electron spectra of In114m and of ThB with daughter products have been investigated. TheK/L ratio of the 191 keV isomeric transition in In114m was found to be 1·25±0·03, in excellent agreement with the theoretical value ofSliv andBand. In the electron spectrum of ThB and daughter products 46 lines were found betweenBϱ=1750Г cm andBϱ=10000Г cm. Some of them are new. Most important is a new weak line atBϱ=7030Г cm which fixes a new level atE=1·807 MeV in ThC′ (Po212). Simultaneously the earlier reported discrepancy between electron andγ-ray intensities for 1·8 MeV…
Study of non-fusion products in the Ti50+Cf249 reaction
2018
The isotopic distribution of nuclei produced in the 50Ti + 249Cf reaction has been studied at the gas-filled recoil separator TASCA at GSI Darmstadt, which separates ions according to differences in magnetic rigidity. The bombardment was performed at an energy around the Bass barrier and with the TASCA magnetic fields set for collecting fusion-evaporation reaction products. Fifty-three isotopes located “north-east” of 208Pb were identified as recoiling products formed in non-fusion channels of the reaction. These recoils were implanted with energies in two distinct ranges; besides one with higher energy, a significant low-energy contribution was identified. The latter observation was not ex…
New region of deformation in the neutron-rich 60 24Cr36 and 62 24Cr38
2003
The neutron-rich nuclei 23 60-63V have been produced at GANIL via interactions of a 61.8A·MeV 76Ge beam with a 58Ni target. Beta-decay to 24 60-63Cr has been investigated using combined β- and γ-ray spectroscopy. Half-lives of the 60-63V nuclei have been determined, and the existence of a beta-decay isomer in the 60V nucleus is strongly supported. The observation of low-energy 2+ states in 60Cr (646keV) and 62Cr (446keV) suggests that these isotopes are strongly deformed with β2 ∼ 0.3. This is confirmed by shell model calculations which show the dominant influence of the intruder g and d orbitals to obtain low 2+ energies in the neutron-rich Cr isotopes.
